Croatia vs Brazil Preview
Croatia Team
Croatia has played in 7 of their last eight knockout matches at big tournaments since finishing third at their maiden World Cup finals ago in 1998. They have still not lost in any of their last 20 matches this season since Europe 2020, and they haven’t lost during their last 10 international games either.
Brazil Team
The Selecao sent a powerful message to the rest of the tournament with their electrifying effort against S.korea in the round of 16. The 5 winners’ effort against the Asian team was their most comprehensive of the season. Everyone was reminded of the reasons Brazil is the favorite to win a sixth-world title.

Brazil appears to be more powerful than before with Neymar back in form. Vinicius Junior, Richarlison, and Lucas Paqueta won’t allow Croatia any room to breathe when they’re around.
